We hnvo long believed that the predis-
posing causes Of hog cholera are INSULT

plenty of pure water. Tho disease is
well known to be infectious, but it is
known that oven infectious diseases
more readily attack where thoro are pre-
disposing causes. The hog, in state

roots, grass and nuts, and ranging the

nearer wo can keep to nature in the
management of stock, supplcmenting
natural supplies by the arts OF culture,
and protecting against undue exposure
to incloment weather, tho moro healthy
and vigorous the animals will be. Every
farmer should provide an abundance OF
green and succulent food throughout the
spring and summer, to be followed in
the fail and winter by nuts, tubers, grain
and oil-cake. Green roasting ears, stalk
and all, sorghum, collards, clover, fallen
fruit and many of the natural grasses OF
the field afford n succession and variety
that leave little to be desired during the
growing months; and sweet potatoes,
chufas, peanuts, field-peas, artichokes,
etc, answer the demands of tho season

Young teachers often ask how they
can win the hearts of their pupils. 1
do not think any one can express in
words the exact method or explain the
natural or acquired tact and ability
which true teacher exercises to secure
the entire confidence and love Of her
pupils. Many suggestions might be
made which are absolutely essential to
secure good results. The little ones
are quick-witted and seem to know by
intuitive knowledge. and take the
measure Of the new teacher as soon rs
she enters tho schoolroom, and IL she
assumes too much or Is wanting In the
genuiiieness Of her manner OF speech,
they are quick to discern 1t ana take
advantage Of it. There Is nothing more
potent in winning the esteem and af-
lection Of the young than kind words
spoken in the right spirit. There are
few teachers who know or realize their
true value. Young hearts are often
yearning for encouraging words. They
haye little trials and anxieties and feel
q keen sense of pleasure when their
teacher, in a pleasant voice, cheers
them on in their daily tasks, and lifts
from their minds the little burdens.
Every teacher may be sure that scolding
and chronic fault finding will not win
the hearts OF the young. Scolding dis
tills gall instead OF sweetness into the
work Of the teacher. Every teacher OF
young pupils should put herself under
bonds to be good natured. 1t Is we'll
known that physical conditions and
surroundings make it necessary for one
to exert themselves to overcome these
things and retain an cquanimity that
would grace a schoolroorn. Young
teachers, you may be firm but you must
be kind If you would send rays Of sum
shine into young hearts and win their
lasting esteem and affection. One has
truly said, kind words are more than
gold from Golconda, or pearls from the
sea- JOLLY PEDAGo0UE.
"A teacher(?) who says II hate young
ones'' should never enter schoolroom.
And yet such beings are allowed to take
a teachers position, and earn q liveli-
hood in this way until they can find
something else to do.

BERLIN, February IL During the de.

Prussian Landtag on the proposed loan
of 10000. .000 marks for railway con.
struction, Herr Mayback, q minister of
the Public Works committee, expressed
surprise at the meaning attached to the
bill by Herr Imwalle. The measure, he
said, certainly proposed the continuance
of peace for, in the event OF war breaking
out, its proposal might not be carried into
effect. He hoped that the peace would
be preserved, but he could not ask the
House 10 recognize in the bill any
special guarantee of peace. Adhesion

What is the use of Superintendent
of Streets? Last night the culverts at
the foot of Temple street were filed up,
by whose authority is not known, and
the water ran over the crosswalks in q
robust stream about 10 feet wide which
spread over Main street in a most un-
pleasant manner. Ladies found it ex.
ceedingly unpleasant to cross the raging
flood. Some robust young men took
their girls in their arms and carried
them safely through the stream, tran
sit that was most agreeable, and no
relative of ''sic transit" while little
fellows taking 200 pound girl to the

impossible. The heavy.w weight girls de-
clared that the Street Superintendent,
who is confirmed old bachelor, should
open the culverts or be there in person
to carry them safely ever.
